Barely one-third of Americans say they would vote for Trump again – and 41 per cent are ready for impeachment hearings
A year after the elevation of Donald Trump to the Oval Office, a majority of Americans say they're planning to vote for a Democrat next time around.
In total, 52 percent of Americans polled by NBC News said they're leaning against another Trump presidency. A mere 18 percent were certain they'd back Trump again.
Altogether, 36 percent of those asked said they were likely to reelect Trump - barely a third of potential voters who were surveyed.
A strong contingent of Independents, four in 10, also joined 70 percent of Democrats in seeking Trump's dismissal now, buoying up the percentage to 41 percent of Americans.
Underwater in popularity since he took office - his numbers are currently 41 in favor and 56 against - Trump is hoping that his tax cut plan will turn his presidency around.
Republicans are touting the across-the-board cuts that Trump is expected to sign into law today as a boon for the middle class and a job stimulant that will surely jump-start economic growth.
A mere 24 percent of Americans told NBC's pollsters that they were in favor of the reforms to the tax system, though. More, 41 percent, said they were a 'bad idea,' with 37 percent saying they feel strongly about that.
Another 34 percent said they were persuadable on taxes, inviting heavy wooing from Democrats and Republicans on the issue in advance of the 2018 midterm elections that will determine the make-up of House and the Senate.
NBC's poll shows the middle class rejecting the GOP's messaging at present.
The bulk, 37 percent, believe they will pay more in taxes than they did before. A slim 16 percent said it's their understand that they will pay less. A fifth believe they will pay the same and 27 percent said they 'don't know enough' to make an educated guess.
Asked the question another way - how much do you believe that you and your family will pay - 32 percent said more, 17 percent said less, 23 said the same, and 28 weren't sure.
Wealthy Americans, on the other hand, were certain they were winners in the deal, with 6 percent saying they'd pay more and 56 saying they'd pay less alongside 12 percent who thought the reforms would be a wash and the 26 percent who didn't know.
Even more telling for the political parties is the 63 percent of respondents who agreed that the tax cut plan 'is designed mostly to help corporations and wealthy Americans.'
Less than one in 10 Americans, 7 percent, told NBC the intent of the reform was to aid the middle class.
Negative feelings about the tax reform plan that Trump's administration and Republican Party spent the tail end of the summer and the entire fall pushing could put a dent in the GOP's majority in next year's election.
Half of the survey's respondents said they prefer a Democrat-controlled Congress compared to the 39 percent who said they'd like to leave the GOP in charge. Another 11 percent said they were uncertain nearly a year out from the midterm elections.
Slightly more than half of voters said they'd prefer a Democrat in the White House, too, 52 percent.
That number includes the 38 percent of Americans who say said they're 'definitely' supporting a Democrat in 2020 and the 14 percent said they'd 'probably' vote that way.
On Trump's side were the 36 percent of voters who said they were definitely supporting him or probably would. They split the total in half at 18 percent each.
With five percent saying they would not vote for either major party, that left five percent unsure and four percent saying it 'depends' on who the candidates are and what happens in the three years between now and the election.
In comparison to Bill Clinton, who struggled at the beginning of his presidency but went on to win reelection, more than twice as many possible voters say they would not support Trump if he appears on the ballot again.
Clinton has 14 percent of the voting population claiming at this point that they would vote for the other party. He had another 19 percent leaning against him.
Like Trump, 18 percent of voters said they were in his corner, but more overall, 42 percent, said they were generally favorable to him.
